It’s one of the most awaited and exciting shows on Star Plus but will the actors do justice to it

Ashutosh Gowariker has finally revealed the faces of his actors in his debut television show, Everest. While the show has some popular actors like Suhasini Mulay, Mohan Kapoor, Milind Gunaji, Rajat Kapoor, Kishori Shahane and Manish Choudhary; the leads of the show are completely fresh.

We caught the new promo of the show and have very mixed feelings about this one. Newcomer Shamata Anchan plays the role of Anjali who wants to climb the Everest to etch her father’s name on the highest peak of the mountain. Her father, an officer in the army is played by Manish Choudhary, claims that he has been living with a broken heart ever since he got a girl. There will two male leads in the show – actors Sahil Salathia and Rohan Gandotra.

The promo showcases Anjali’s dream to be special for her father, her trials and tribulations of being a girl child of a reputed army officer and more. While the trailer looks interesting we just hope the acting skills of the lead actor is at par with the story of the show. Take a look at the promo and tell us what you think of it BollywoodLifers.

The movie is based on India’s first official haunted site and seems to not just be spooky but also spine chilling…

The makers of Trip to Bhangarh have come up with the first song from the film called Mangal raat. For all those who have heard the age old sexual poem Mangal raat, this song takes your pleasure quotient to the next level. The song, composed and penned by Raja Jani, is a pretty decent rap song, sung by Tochi Raina and Prerna Shridhar.

What we like:

-The superb lyrics by Raja Jani are, definitely, the only highlight of the song.

-The chemistry between lead actors Manish Choudhary and Vidushi Mehra is good.

What we don’t like:

-The cinematography of the song is apt, but not impactful, according to the lyrics and has nothing worth registering or remembering.

-The song’s composition is very plain and sounds like any of Yo Yo Honey Singh’s rap songs.

Also starring Suzanna Mukherjee, Vikram Kochar, Rohit Chaudhury, Rachit Behl, Piyush Raina, Sudheer Rikhari and Poonam Pandey, the film is all set to release on September 5. So go ahead BollywoodLifers, have a look at the trailer and let us know your thoughts.

One can’t help comparing the two VJ-turned-actors, but if you walk into the theatre expecting Manish Paul’s debut to be anything like Ayushmann Khurrana’s Vicky Donor, you will be proved wrong…

The similarity between Mickey Virusand Vicky Donor ends with the backdrop of Delhi and the Punjabi dialect the heroes speak. And, of course, the fact that you might just like Manish Paul’s acting debut as much as you did Ayushmann Khurrana’s. Mickey Virus is not just a comedy; it’s an almost-perfect comic-thriller.Mickey Arora (Manish Paul), a street smart and lazy Delhi boy, a harmless computer hacker, is sought by the Delhi police to help the law track down a group of dangerous hackers, Bhram. This aimless boy-man is happy doing vellagiri with his set of friends – Chutney, Floppy and Pancho – and is content to create computer viruses sitting at his mother’s grocery shop. Mickey finds his dream girl in a vegetable market – enter Kamayani George (Bigg Boss 7‘s Elli Avram).

The film’s premise is explained by what Mickey himself says: ‘Ek alsi aadmi ko jab ek mushkil kaam dedo na, toh woh asaan tareeka dhoond hi leta hain.’ That’s how Mickey manages to get access to the notorious Bhram gang’s website in just 60 seconds, leaping through multiple firewalls. What follows is our hero’s simple, happy-go-lucky life taking a mad twist and Mickey being embroiled in a tricky theft-murder case.

Manish Paul manages to stand tall even in his first film. He’s a natural on camera and nowhere does the anchor overshadow the actor. Manish makes you believe that he is Mickey Arora – an aloof guy who is quite capable of hiding a trick or two up his T-shirt sleeve. If his spontaneous hosting is impressive on the small screen, the actor’s spontaneity on the silver screen cannot be missed. Elli Avram’s debut on 70mm is glamorous, she’s far better than Nargis Fakhri in Rockstar or even Katrina Kaif in her first few films. Elli emotes and looks sexy enough for us to gauge her acting prowess.

The other actor who manages to hold his own is tellyland’s Varun Badola as Delhi cop Devendra Bhalla; VB has delivered some perfectly timed dialogues with a punch in true Dilli-andaaz. Hope Mickey Virus does the same to Varun’s career that Vicky Donor did to the talented Anu Kapoor’s. Manish Choudhary as ACP Siddhanth Chauhan will remind you of Aamir Khan from Talaash. The film’s writer/director Saurabh Varma has spiced his film with fun, geeky-gizmo one-liners, crazily funny dialogue and cool message T-shirts. Mickey Virus makes a smooth transition from a fun film to a good thriller. While this might not be the perfect comic-thriller, it’s almost there, with some minor flaws that don’t interfere too much with its watchability.

Manish Paul makes an impressive entry into Bollywood and we certainly wanna watch more of the actor!

After making us roll on the floor with his hilarious one-liners and unbelievable spontaneity as a host, Manish Paul makes his acting debut through an impressive looking venture

Mickey Virus, the title of Saurabh Varma’s directorial debut-starring Manish Paul- at the outset reminds you of Ayushmann Khurrana’s super successful debut Vicky Donor. But it will be quite interesting note that Mickey Virus was in the making even before Vicky Donor was released, at least that’s what the makers have claimed.

Interestingly, the plot of Manish Paul’s debut bears uncanny resemblance to Vicky Donor as both the films have Delhi as the backdrop with the protagonists being good for nothing yet street smart dudes. While Ayushmann played the charming sperm donor in Shoojit Sircar’s movie, Manish will play a vella hacker in Micky Virus. The rom-com also stars Puja Gupta (Vicky Donor), Manish Chaudhary and a Greek hottie Ellie Avaram.

The comic thriller revolves around the business of hacking. In the film, the Delhi Police comes across a hacking case and are on a lookout of a computer geek who can help them crack this case. The head of the police team ACP Siddhant (Manish Choudhary), comes across Mickey Arora (Manish Paul), a lazy but street smart hacker. The lazy bum runs a grocery store during the day and creates virus’s for anti virus companies in the night. Only Mickey has in him all that it takes to crack this case.

The trailer looks quite slick and smart. Take a look at tell us if you liked it too!
